I cannot believe that in 1999 , Americans are discussing WHEN "routine" circumcision should be performed, even on Premature babies. You should all be asking yourself WHY is any form of Routine infant Genital mutilation is still being performed at all in any centre.
Why be breastfeeding advocates and yet allow male infants to undergo an amputation which is not only unnecessary but potentially extremely harmful .Rule one in Medicine: FIRST, DO NO HARM!!! Do as much research and argument on this topic as you do on Breastfeeding before lending your support to such a practice.
